The Pines Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the sea view suite and it was absolutely beautiful we will definitely be back this is now my wife’s favourite room to stay in"

Purbeck House Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The overall stay at Purbeck House was okay. We had a very interesting mini tour with Alex. Our room was on two levels and very spacious . It would have benefitted from some artwork on the walls. Also, a proper bathmat. I nearly slipped over getting out of the bath as the textured surface is small. The shower gel bottles are a waste of time. They are very small and it was difficult to actually squeeze the gel out. Considering the price I would have expected bottled water. There was a wedding on the Saturday and we expected the very loud music to finish before midnight. Our main disappointment was the breakfast. We've no problem with a continental breakfast but the choice was dismal. We stayed for four nights. We soon tired of tinned peaches and prunes - we don't eat grapefruit. I attempted to peel an orange but it took so long and then was dried up. You can get easy peel. There were a couple of small croissants on the first morning but we didn't have them any other day. The stodgy chocolate pastries weren't good. Pre packed waffles? Poor quality sliced bread. The unsliced option (which had then been sliced) was a bit better but there were often just a few small end bits left. I could go on........... It's good that the building is being restored but maybe some consideration could be also given to improving the current guest experience at the same time."

Red Lion

10/10 Excellent

"Received a friendly welcome. Staff were very helpful. Accommodation was small, but had everything I needed. It was clean and tidy. As I was staying for a week, a small fridge was installed, which was ideal. Free parking a bonus. Only downside was because it is next to the pub garden, it can be a bit noisy in the evenings. After pub hours it is quiet. The pub is an old traditional pub serving good range of beers and ciders at reasonable prices. I would definitely stay here again."

Beachcomber Holiday Apartments

8/10 Good

"Large, sunny 2 bedroom apartment and a short walk to the beach. Carol is a lovely, friendly host and made us feel very welcome. We were very lucky with the weather but felt the apartment would have benefitted from some fans as it became very hot and stuffy in there. The bedrooms only have blinds but they are not quite as wide as the windows. The gaps let in the morning sun and evening light from the street lights leading to a very disrupted sleep. Would definitely benefit from having heavy curtains in both bedrooms as we were woken up at around 5am on both mornings. These additions would definitely make the stay more comfortable as everything else was great 😊."

Taunton House B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Bill & Michelle are excellent hosts and have a lovely property in Swanage. Room was spotlessly clean and tidy the same for dry room and dining area. We left our Amazon remote in the room that they found and rang us about and offered to mail to us, how very thoughtful- lovely people, fantastic breakfast and great location. We will definitely look to book again when we visit Dorset next."
